The Illustra IP Mini-Domes provide crisp and clear high-definition video, at full frame rates (30ips NTSC/25ips PAL). Whether in bright sun, near darkness or blackout conditions, you can clearly see important details, such as license plates, merchandise labels, and faces.

The exceptional speed of the Illustra PTZ coupled with ultra-low latency performance gives security personnel the ability to accurately track subjects in mission-critical applications. The camera tracks a scene with the precision you would expect from an analog PTZ camera.

The Micro camera is well-suited for applications where low profile, high performance surveillance is required. Install the lens module in a limited space while using the 6m (20 ft.) power/processing cable to conveniently install the main power unit elsewhere.

With its compact design and affordable price, this camera is best suited for organizations looking for a cost-effective box camera. Strategically placed, these inconspicuous cameras offer high security without attracting unwanted attention.

The security issues facing the Aviation industry are both specific and demanding. Airports are a hub for the movement of a large number of passengers and for the handling of high volumes of baggage and cargo.

In the Commercial/Industrial sector, companies' needs go beyond the basic physical security system. Due to the variety and complexity of most commercial/industrial companies, the security system can go from simple to very complex.

The terrorist attacks of 9/11/2001, the pandemic outbreak planning of 2006, the shooting events on Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University campuses have changed the face of campus security and student protection.

Casinos, sports stadiums, and entertainment arenas have specific and unique requirements. They have to balance discreet surveillance watching out for unusual behavior particularly in these times of a terrorist threat, but also integrating with other information systems for safe evacuation should the need arise.

Modernization of older legacy systems to more robust computing platforms and open system architecture for integration and interoperability with other sub-systems such as Visitor management, IDS, CCTV and building systems

As IT companies have become more aware of the necessity of physical security, it is now a requirement for all of them to have a physical security management structure responsible for securing their facilities, data centers, assets and to keep accurate records of who accessed what and when.

Theia's lens calculators (more accurately image resolution calculators) let you see what to expect from different lens-camera combinations. The pictures represent the field of view for a given camera-lens combination and the image resolution. You can use these pictures to set expectations for your customer about how far away a license plate can be read or what level of detail can be seen in a person's face.

Education

Challenge

Common issues associated with educational facilities, which are often multi-site, include vandalism and disruptive behaviour, incursion from unwanted visitors and managing access levels. Not only are the typical security measures of surveillance and access control necessary for the protection of the student population, but also broad area real-time notification to student and faculty of an immediate danger is required. Special types of access controls for Student Housing and Special Events are common. Student ID’s that also serve as access control credentials. Data integration with student databases and use of mobile card readers at school events have also become commonplace.

All of these issues and more can be addressed using integrated solutions from Tyco Security Products.

Solution

Integrated Access Control and Video Surveillance

Tyco Security Access Control and Video products provide complete integrated solutions for synchronizing Alarm Monitoring and Video surveillance. Using mobile alarm monitoring stations, officers can respond while viewing real-time video of an emergency situation. Our Access Control systems can lock down campus and only allow entry by LEO personnel in a crisis. Alarm messages can be broadcast over multiple annunciation technologies such as text messages, graphic displays, reverse 911 systems and even over existing fire alarm voice annunciation panels. Any unauthorized access attempts or movements in predefined fields of view will trigger an alarm that will be captured by cameras and then recorded onto the Digital Video Management System.

Even non-door devices such as podiums with electronic equipment inside, can be controlled by cards to restrict access and protect assets. Our “Double Swipe” technology allows faculty members to unlock and disarm classrooms on command without keypads or alarm panels.
Using our wireless mobile card reading solution, student and faculty ID’s can be checked for authorized entry to sporting and other events at mobile locations. The card record database can be automatically updated by the master Campus Student/Facility databases.

Case Studies

Cherokee County School District

Cherokee County School District in Georgia decided to migrate its existing security over to a hybrid IP solution with victor unified management system from American Dynamics at the center of the operation.

As part of a system-wide upgrade, Penn State transitioned to a single security management system to centralize management of the college's video surveillance and access control functions, including the installation of wireless locks.
